12:02 pm
welcome you watching our team from moscow with me in this hour it's now eight pm here our top story for you another plan to avoid a u.s. debt default has failed to pass through the senate after democrats rejected a cuts bill proposed by the republicans so with the clock ticking down to choose those deadlines there's less time than ever to find a way out of what president obama's called a mess and averted unprecedented default crisis economists told us all the proposals on the table are just putting off the worst out. less than two business days away from the worst self-imposed crisis of america's standing in the world and america's credit rating and at least a century it's a fairly emergency situation and we're deep into the eleventh bordering on the twelfth hour the debt reduction plan that president obama has endorsed at least rhetorically that comes out of harry reid and the democratic majority in the u.s. senate does make massive cuts in spending more than two point five trillion dollars
12:03 pm
over ten years so more than two hundred fifty billion dollars a year does no increase in revenue at all which was one of the early if i think somewhat unwise demands of the republicans in these negotiations and therefore is possible is actually does more to reduce the deficit and the debt in the united states over the next ten years than the rival republican house plan the cut cap and balance plan and so it's possible of that could be pushed through none of these plans make real efforts to reduce the long term problem of insufficient revenue and these plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many communities in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows a u.s. government the represents only the elite is ill equipped to deal with the overwhelming problem says gerald celebrities from the u.s. space trends journal. the country is going bankrupt just look at the
12:04 pm

12:05 pm
all this is about letting them keeping their parks joe solenn saying that later in the program we have the streets of the big apple to ask americans what they think of the debt drama right now. it makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi porkies to portage two and a half hours of you could achieve and we can't get anything done sometimes it takes a while to realize how bad things really are they keep on saying the american people want this america they want this but i don't think there is anybody really what they really want. in a stone s.s. veterans and neo nazis are holding their annual meeting they've got that with the support of local authorities who on the other hand have how impotent i am to not see much set to happen by a few set of first reports see. we're here in this town

across the country and activists hope that the rally in tel aviv a truck half a million people thousands indeed have been camping out across the country for about a week now calling for social justice and for prime minister netanyahu to go and the government could resort to some provocative measures to try to disperse the crowds says more oil he's an activist and lawyer who's in tel aviv spoke to us big government sending people here to make provocation in order to find a reason to take this demonstration to a violent situation to give him a cause to clear this whole thing out we're not going to let them do that before this will continue that's for sure it took sixty years to people to actually get out of the couch and come and demonstrate for social issues we haven't done it before you know what we have here it's a mystery this debate will be remembered in history because the israelis used to be a bad thing to the situation if the government won't listen to the sound of the people because it will fall that's basically it we can take the government send him
12:11 pm
home and in a desperate attempt to stay in power the government could begin a new war to try and divert attention from the social problems says stuff shifa he's one of the main organizers of the protest. well you can see it at the now is under big pressure here wasn't prepared for some kind of movement at the moment actually our biggest fear is that not only our being so afraid of what's going to happen we'll start a war somewhere. because that's the situation in israel where used to be part of the big war zone we're in we're not allowed to talk about the way we live because we're always under pressure we always under a certain threat and that's what people want to change now they want to say ok so they're our friends and we are in a very very big problems with the countries around us and with the palestinians but still there are things that we have to solve and the situation outside of israel is also related to what happened here between our between our citizens. no but later

a good story as opposed to hype butch ward worked for nearly twenty years as a journalist with the philadelphia inquirer but after layoffs he left to work for health insurer independent blue cross before returning to work as a journalist that revolving door between the press and p.r. the press and governor. is causing real concern about what the long term effects could be if the influx of spin doctors take over the message machine completely where there is very little journalism being done in an awfully lot of spin you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy itself i'll go straight to questions white house spokesman jay carney worked for twenty years as a journalist for time magazine now he's president obama's spokes person former broadcaster and columnist tony snow went on to serve as spokesperson for president bush and jamie rubin went from the state department under president clinton to

executive editor at bloomberg news so common such as a common practice and no one no one is questioning or or in a time when hack and flack are often one in the same and the spin machine works overtime as the printing presses come to a halt the question becomes can him even full force the state actually survive. in washington christine for r t. you've got some to say about that story let us know online full coverage of all our top stories twenty four seventh's for you. while you very much want to check out these as well the spirit of robin hood rather than some form russia's of the store this instead of burdening a bush on the breadline. have left some money of a note for us saying she should use the money to help her so. it's an amazing tale of love infidelity of male swans managed to. for a stray dog killed the mother for more on the single father success called solar

oven welcome to. equal access to education for children of different backgrounds may be a good idea but it's getting a mixed response in india the government's unprecedented right to education act aims to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged between six and fourteen but it's india's centuries old social divide is getting in the way of that idea that artie's pretty straight are found out. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just wall is getting ready for school while there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like cushy in india only half that number ever complete the eighth grade most end up leaving school to help their parents with domestic work or to get
12:18 pm
a job to bring in some extra money. and i haven't studied much that's why i want to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed an act making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education it even requires elite private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their seats to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushy today there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice unlike this one as there are free schools that are funded by the government according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where they mend their kids to school that means a student like cushy can attend an elite private school if she enters that wins the lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully enroll this is one that are attending schools like the ones pushing attendance now could get overcrowded
12:19 pm
but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe that integrating indian children from a lower class into a private school would not be practical. these elite schools have a very high standard only juden whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation. it's a position supported by the well off members of indian society the schools are not meant for them. it's meant for the people who are close people who took over there was so little get neglected in the sense that he comes from a background his parents are probably labelled as a what they would they're. putting him in that sort of fit into i mean so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the mixed reception the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study till the twelfth grade ten become a teacher i but it's
12:20 pm
a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socioeconomic divide i prefer sure either r t new delhi india i just let you know you can follow the latest developments on the story on our twitter fate of the school called priya reveals that she has been speaking to both rich parents to find that what they think of the reforms she shares that many wealthy investors believe the children would academically held but if it was a quota for the full tilt oppose the school's principal and they probably inflicted neighborhood who said he believes his students would never be able to compete in an elite private school are you people today with the first and opinions and information on twitter pages and the school called. russian pilots taking to the skies in small airplanes have long been grounded by unimaginable amounts of paperwork but now recently adopted law has dropped some of the legal load clearing the runway than for more frequent flights however many obstacles

12:22 pm
if the pilot and the mechanic in the same berth and you know have the main plane would come in they phone from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called notification mode instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet for air traffic control of their plans but in reality it rarely works according as you can see there are many forbidden no restricted zones around moscow so it's impossible for us to use notification mode anywhere within a two hundred kilometer radius of the capital even with the new law dozens of government organisations issue all sorts of contradictory instructions for pilots it's a major disincentive for pilots to make the effort to take to the skies and that means that russia is missing out on the potential pot of gold will some countries like the u.s. get billions of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a cent. of the current regulations are in chaos and in that mess we're losing

satellite dishes near the libyan capital tripoli the attack was said to have been carried out in accordance with the u.n. resolution to protect people from government oppression through the media however it's failed to knock libyan state television off the air it's now been four months since nato military campaign began the libyan government claims hundreds of civilians have been killed in the air strikes. norway's royal palace and the h.q. of the ruling labor party were among the possible targets of the mass killer anders breivik that's according to a prosecutor who spoke to local media but it is a question for a second time on friday it comes as the country continues to mourn the seventy seven victims of a bomb attack in central oslo and the shooting massacre on a toy or island. we're turning now to our top story the u.s. debt ceiling deadlock on the approaching august the second deadline but with no solution on the rise of the was known as the resident the falling out with the people fail a financial apocalypse is around the corner. with
12:25 pm
a looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean that this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and nothing happened just part of the negotiation process i think so it's idle threat. i believe so do you expect more from the people you like. neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states would go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real and they're they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent the reports that they think to their representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this american they want this but i don't think they're asking anybody really what they really want what do you want i would like
12:26 pm
to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived there is a debt crisis but will make it through and you know will pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election you know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up and and hopefully we'll get our way but sometimes it takes a while to really bad things really are i mean nobody is given any ground of so you know you log before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in. italy or any place really of multiport each i would go to port is to an airport if you include the team and we can't get anything done it's utterly embarrassing they should be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the us debt crisis the bottom
